Hair Take Over: Day Four- Braids and All The Rest

Have you caught the rest of our series on hairstyles? If not, start here and go from the beginning! Enjoy!

Braids:

4. French: You can do this in pig tails or one
braid. You can start in the front or the back of the head. This technique is
used in many hairstyles. Section the hair off in three equal sections. Braid
one time. As you continue take small sections that are even and parallel to the
braid and incorporate them over the section you have on the left and right each
time you braid.

5. Inside Out: This braid is the same as
a French braid only when you are braiding you bring the extra hair under each
time you incorporate the hair.

6. Fish Tail: Divide the hair into 2
parts. Take small pieces from the back of the two larger sections, cross to the
other section and incorporate. Repeat on opposite sides until get to end of the
hair.

Other:

18.French Twist: Gather all of the hair
at the nape of the neck. Starting at the base of the gathered hair, twist
upward smoothing the top hair as you go. Tuck left over hair down under the
twist when you get to the top. Pin by putting bobby pins into the outside of
the twist and flipping the opposite direction while pinning into hair by the
scalp.

19. Beach Curls:

Taking smaller sections of hair, wrap around the curling iron barrel. I like to hold on the end of the strand the whole time and not readjust it so it twists a little bit as I wrap it around the barrel. This allows the ends to look more tapered and natural versus flat. After curling all your hair, flip your hair over (I like to bend over and do this) and either run your fingers through your hair or mess it up by scratching your scalp but not hurting your scalp. This just loosens up the curls making them more full and more natural looking.

20.
Double Pony: This hair style is best with loosely curled hair with lots of
volume. Divide your hair with a line level with the tops of your ears. Put that
in a pony. To create more volume you could tease the hair on top. Gather the
rest of the hair and put the bottom pony tail as close to the top one as you
can. Make sure the top pony is covering the top of the bottom pony.
